Early Years</strong><br />
<strong>Alice Guy</strong> was born on July 1, 1873. Her <strong>French</strong> parents were working in <strong>Chile</strong>, where they owned a chain of bookstores. When Alice's mother got pregnant, the couple returned to <strong>Paris</strong> where Alice was born. Soon after, her parents returned to South America and left her to be raised by her grandmother in <strong>Switzerland</strong>. After eventually moving to Chile to rejoin her parents, the family returned to France and enrolled Alice in school. Once again, her parents returned to Chile. Shortly afterward, her father and brother died.<br />

<strong>Career<br />
</strong> In 1894, Alice was hired by <strong>L&eacute;on Gaumont</strong> as his secretary and still photographer. Whilst working for him, she began experimenting with filmmaking. A couple years later, Gaumont started his own company, <strong>Gaumont Film Company</strong> and Alice was head of production from 1896 to 1906. In the late 1890s (c. 1898), she directed her first film,<span style="font-style: italic;"> </span><strong><i>La Fee aux Choux</i> (<i>The Cabbage Fairy</i>)</strong>. In doing so, Alice Guy became the first female film director. In addition to directing at least 324 films, she contributed as a producer, writer or in some other aspect on many more. Though she made slapstick, fantasy, sci-fi, western and action films as well as many other genres, many of her filmes were intended for female audiences and bore a deliberate and outspoken feminist sensibility.<br />
